Guest teacher at Konstfack 

Stockholm, Sweden     2020

Konstfack is the oldest university of arts in Sweden and also the world’s leading university of arts. Actually, it is one of the universities I have been admiring.

I was very fortunate to stay at Konstfack as a guest teacher there and had valuable experiences thanks to the teachers at Konstfack.

・Joining as a tutor in the class given by teachers at Konstfack

・Giving graduate students supervision of their graduation work

・Giving undergraduates supervision of their graduation work

・Observing and exchanging opinions at

Working together with the teachers and students at Konstfack gave me time to think about how I should be as a researcher and a teacher. Also, the cultures of Konstfack and Sweden gave me an opportunity to think about what I should value in my life. 


The interaction with the faculty and students made me rethink how I should be as a researcher and a teacher. Konstfack and Swedish culture gave me an opportunity to rethink what I should value. Looking back at my life, the experience as a guest teacher at Konstfack is one of the most important time.


I am profoundly grateful to Cheryl and Anna Maria, the teachers at Konstfack welcoming me warmly and giving me a lot of chances.
